I find myself in Milan overnight today, thinking I would be getting a ferry to Greece tomorrow. I thought I could just stroll into the ticket office to get my Interrail reservation for Bari for tomorrow so I could get there for a 1930hrs sailing. But no, for some reason all the trains are booked...

I need to go from Irun (or possibly San Sebastian) on the morning of Tuesday 26 to arrive in Pinhal Novo some time on Wednesday afternoon. The 2 routes that are just by train are: 1) Irun to Madrid, then onto Merida or Badajoz to overnight before carrying on to Entrocamento, Lisbon and then...

I'll be in Irun in Northern Spain first thing on Tuesday 26th heading towards Madrid I expect. Am I correct in my understanding that there is no way to book reservations for use with my Interrail Pass online? Instead, I can telephone Renfe 3 days before and they "reserve the reservations"...

I know that (obviously) both people need to travel together in order to use the card to obtain 1/3 off. Does anyone know if both people need a ticket though? For example one person might have a pass that covers part of the journey - in which case can the second person receive the discount on the...

2 of us need to do a day trip this Friday of London to Penkridge via Stafford arriving mid morning then on to Birmingham for 4pm ish then a few hours later back to London. Any thoughts on the cheapest way please on a "close to quickest" route? Happy to buy a Two Together Card if need be...

Hi All I need to get from Sydenham to Guildford by 10am both tomorrow and Friday prior to returning at 11am ish to Sydenham. I have a tfl Freedom card for London but that won't help me for the journey there of course. I also have an unused interrail day left over from a recent trip back from...

Due to the train into Milano Centrale being 42 minutes late earlier I find myself in Como S Giovanni rather than Tirano so I'll have to revisit the Bernina Express another time. I've got an interrail pass and need to be in Mulhouse tomorrow evening. Does anyone have any brilliant ideas about...

I note that the man at seat61 suggests that the best route to Zurich is via Paris Nord, metro to Gare du Lyon and then direct to Basel and then on to Zurich. I prefer Paris Nord, 10 minute walk to Gare d'Est, to Strasbourg then on to Basel and then on to Zurich. I've not tried the seat61...

Bizarrely, I've failed to find a source online but can one buy a ticket - eg East Croydon to Staines - online and not have to pick it up at the station. That is to say that one would just show it on one's phone? I'm used to doing this in Europe but so far failing to do so in the UK.....

Hi I’m interailing back towards London. I wonder if anyone can help me? I shall wake up in Montpellier this Saturday and will take a local train to Nimes and then I have reservations for the train to Paris at 1214hrs so I can get my Eurostar reservation back to London leaving Paris at 1713hrs...

There are 8 of us going to Brussels for Friday and Saturday night, returning Sunday. We'll arrive on the Eurostar at Brussels Midi but our hotel is close to Brussel Centraal. Any thoughts on the easiest way to get a valid ticket from Brussel Midi to Brussel Centraal please?

I'm planning to return to London from here in Patras, Greece to London next week. I normally take the ferry to Bari, Ancona or Venice but was wondering this year about going 100% by rail. I also want to visit Zurich on the way.... Interrail pass probably makes sense but not sure how that works...

I want to book reservations from Padova to Ancona on 8 September for our Inter rail passes. I looked on the OBB site a few days ago and it offered me 2 passes. However when I look this morning it says, "no ticket available". I thought that it might be because the quota had run out so I ran the...

Looking at travelling to Bolzano in Northern Italy around the 31st August. Does anyone have any thoughts on the cheapest routes? Happy to stop once on the way. I can see London to Lille £56.50 Lille to Macon £52.50 (overnight stay) Macon to Milan £44.50 Milan to Bolzano £21.70 but wondering...

Has anyone out there used this? It appears to mean that when I change from AVE train to Alvia train in Madrid, I will be able to get a free ticket from Madrid Atocha to Madrid Charmatin on the Cercanias network. I'm wondering if it's that easy...

Currently in Nerja where I believe the closest rail station to be Malaga - I see there's a 1 hour coach journey to there. The 2 of us need to be back in London for Saturday 28th or Sunday 29th. Looking to spend a few nights in San Sebastian and open to other overnight stops on the way if it...

Just started getting back in to UK railway travel and am wondering if anything has changed re buying tickets. Is there an obvious place to go to buy a ticket online eg Bromley to Whitstable or Fenchurch Street to Leigh on Sea? It often seems to me that I'm on a bus going to the station and...

I checked the cost of the reservation on the Interrail site before I bought the pass but now I've paid for the pass, I find that the Eurostar train I wanted to take - Monday 18 April 1622hrs London to Paris is now showing as unbookable. How can this happen? I've also rechecked the website and...

I'm planning on taking a SNCF sleeper from Paris to Perpignan in a month's time. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience regarding Covid precautions. I note that the booking site says that Grade 3 masks are compulsory but does that apply when asleep? I would imagine that sharing a 6 bed...

I'm planning on leaving London on Easter Monday or the day after - Tuesday 19 April - and need to be in Pinhal Novo, south of Lisbon by Friday 22 April. In the past I would have used the sleeper between Irun and Lisbon but that is alas no longer running. I'm wondering if anyone has any...
